Hi Marc, I'm running into the exact same issue you seemed to have overcome. I've a HTML based AIR application and I want to include GMaps capabilities in a swf file within the HTML app. Would you mind posting the code you used to import the swf into the HTML please? This is what my import code looks like:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/ swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="800px" height="600px"> <param name="movie" value="app:/GMapsController.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="flashVars" value="key=aklsjdlkasjdlaskjdaslkjdaslkdjalksdjaslkdjaslkdjaslkdjaslkdjasldkjasldkjasldkjaldkajaslkdjasldkjasldkjasldkj"> <embed width="800px" height="600px" src="app:/GMapsController.swf" quality="high" flashVars="key=aklsjdlkasjdlaskjdaslkjdaslkdjalksdjaslkdjaslkdjaslkdjaslkdjasldkjasldkjasldkjaldkajaslkdjasldkjasldkjasldkj" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> </object> and this is what my mxml code looks like: <mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <maps:Map xmlns:maps="com.google.maps.*" id="map" mapevent_mapready="onMapReady(event)" width="100%" height="100%" url="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/"; key="aklsjdlkasjdlaskjdaslkjdaslkdjalksdjaslkdjaslkdjaslkdjaslkdjasldkjasldkjasldkjaldkajaslkdjasldkjasldkjasldkj"/ > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import com.google.maps.LatLng; import com.google.maps.Map; import com.google.maps.MapEvent; import com.google.maps.MapType; private function onMapReady(event:Event):void { this.map.setCenter(new LatLng(40.736072,-73.992062), 14, MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE); } public function setLocation(lat:Number, long:Number):void { } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:WindowedApplication> When I load this HTML application, I don't get any error messages saying that the GMaps key is invalid or anything like that. You said that hosting the swf file on a remote server worked for you - do you know whether its possible to load the swf file from inside the AIR app? If you have any pointers, I'd really appreciate your opinion. Cheers Sean On Jul 30, 10:20 am, Marc Sutton <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, I figured it out.
